| The best place to listen to music?? Home, or at a place that features good actual musicians...a bar actually featuring a groovy stereo system seems like hipster or simply trendy silliness as that's not what bars are for, although it doesn't hurt to have an actual OK system in a bar.... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Those who cannot hear the increase in SQ that magic fuses allegedly provide are hearing exactly what they provide, and that's absolutely nothing. | |
| Tube amp forethought When my original version Freya arrived a couple of years ago with its stock "mystery tubes" (actually NOS Russians) they were very quiet, and displayed no microphonics. Hardly crap. I ordered a set of new version Tung Sols anyway and they sounded ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "Of course the other conclusion one can draw is that because fuses are directional all cables, power cords, all internal wiring, all capacitors, transformers, etc. are also directional." Exactly, and that mishmash of internal wiring assembled with... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Kaitty...you can dispute what I'm saying by pretending to not understand what I mean by "signal path," or you can put some magic pebbles in your foil hat to help you calm down...breathe deep... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? I have a medium-large room and my ears are maybe 8 feet of so from my slightly toed-in Heresy IIIs...perfect...and the sound level thing always seems funny to me as I don't know anyone serious about hifi that puts speakers in a really large room a... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Regarding "checking fuse direction yourself," I suggested that a couple of posts ago (Kaitty’s reading skills are clearly hindered by the constant skull pressure from his tinfoil hat) and highly recommend doing exactly that...I also agree that fus... | |
| Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer ! Man...Guttenberg has certainly become a Klipschophilliac...Note that the Cornball IV (uh...Cornwall...sorry) has the same tweeter as my Heresy IIIs, a fact from which I take some comfort (low comfort threshold warning). I wonder why they didn't us... | |
| Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer ! Looks like they stuck the Forte III mid horn in the thing, which seems like a good idea...the previous model had a horn like the Heresy with the unnecessary (for the Cornwall anyway) speaker cutout underneath, so this looks much cooler. A big spea... | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations Subs obviate any low end grunt issues...12wpc of tube power plus 250 clean watts of sub grunt does the trick for me. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... Note that I think Fortes and Heresy IIIs sound very similar, albeit with differing low bass response...at least they did when I briefly heard Forte IIIs while auditioning the Heresy IIIs. I often mention that the Heresy IIIs size appealed to me as... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Me simply disputing those who CLAIM to hear fuse directionality differences, and I'm clearly fine with that, small guy. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... Mid 60s...this is the oldest I've ever been. | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? Jones yerself into 2 Aegirs maybe as that uses the balanced outs from your Freya + (I can’t use those as my power amp is RCAs only...damn...). The fact that the now "Class A Rated" (oh yeah, uh huh) Aegir is so amazingly (relatively) inexpensive I... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Fuse directionality is a myth...prove that to yourself by reversing the fuse in any component and note that the sound doesn't change one iota, regardless of the hyperbole and silly claims otherwise. Also it bears mentioning (again) that the little... |
